路路Happily spending my daughter鈥檚 inheritance+5 is great. 309= plenty of amplitude. Zero beat error.
You got yourself an awesome watch. 馃憤

路What's the average range for a healthy amplitude?

路I'm no expert but if the lift angle is correct for the movement and the amplitude variation between positions is small you've got yourself a winner
Also, make sure to understand that the timegrapher doesn't always tell the truth, it's a handy tool but there are a lot of variables. There is plenty of information about this on the internet and it definitely makes an interesting read
Enjoy!

路路Omega Qualified WatchmakerLift angle is 51 for this movement, so even if he's left it at the default of 52, it's still good amplitude. Rule of thumb is that for every 1 degree of lift angle error, there will be about 6 degrees of amplitude error, so this is likely overstated by 6 degrees, so not significant.
The next test is to check how much the amplitude drops when the chronograph has been started. The thing with these modular chronograph movements is that many watchmakers who claim to service them, only service the base 2892 and not the chronograph module. So you will want to be sure that the chronograph module doesn't create a large drop in balance amplitude when you have the chronograph running. So run that test and show us what it is with and without the chronograph running...and set your lift angle to 51 degrees.
Cheers, Al

路Sorry if this is a dumb question but what does reduced mean, i understand the meaning of the word
but in reference to what? In what way has the watch been reduced?

Hope this helps.
I believe the op sold it in order to get a Professional. If that is so, congrats!
